Reviews from Real Users

Kofax TotalAgility’s cutting-edge intelligent process automation platform stands out among the many similar products offered by its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are the general wealth of features that are already built into the product when it is initially deployed and its optical character recognition (OCR) engine. Kofax TotalAgility provides users with the ability to create, deploy, and manage workflows without requiring them to overly rely on other solutions. Kofax TotalAgility’s suite makes it possible for its users to keep their reliance on any other products to a minimum. Kofax TotalAgility’s OCR engine makes it easy for users to find data that might be buried deep within their systems. It saves users a great deal of time, streamlines their data search process, and makes it easy for them to make use of their data.

An enterprise service management consultant and Kofax developer at a technological services company writes, “There are also already a lot of built-in features, meaning you don't have to install and integrate many third-party plugins. It has a lot of its own stuff.”

He also writes, “Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document. You can deploy the CSV file and put it within Kofax, and then it'll search from the CSV file as well. For example, let's say you have a long list of names. It's integrated with scanners so it's easy to find the data you need.

Kofax TotalAgility was previously known as TotalAgility, Singularity, Capture Enabled BPM.

It has various deployment options, such as on-premise single tenant and multi-tenant, and cloud-based single and multi-tenant

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are: Document Capture Business Process Management Dynamic Case Management. It covers the various domains, such as Account Payable, Mortgage, Insurance, Healthcare, Logistics and Supply Chain. Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space. In addition, it has various deployment options, such as on-premise single tenant and multi-tenant, and cloud-based single and multi-tenant. The Separation of API and web server is another valuable feature that leads to a secure environment.

How has it helped my organization?

We have implemented lots of Kofax TotalAgility solutions to various customers. It has improved a lot. For example, one of the customers had a manual account payable process. With the KTA platform, they were able to reduce FTE on their AP process and move them to other areas of the business. This leads to non-linear drive in the organization.

What needs improvement?

Even though it has good documentation, key things are not being noted perfectly. As a result, we have to turn to the support team, which leads to delays. We need to have some workarounds to achieve something, but those are getting improved in each version. To have a rich UI, We have to do some customization through JavaScript.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

TotalAgility is a true rapid development environment however independent skilled resources are a scarce commodity

As Kofax journey through a brand transformation with strategic acquisitions in the BPM (Singularity), BI (Altosoft) and Integration (Kapow) spaces, TotalAgility has come to the fore as the platform upon which the world’s leading document capture company will attempt to capture the Smart Process Application market. As a result you will see the sales force climb the stairs from the scanning operations in the basement to the heady heights of your boardrooms.

For the best part of a decade now TotalAgility has been pitched among the best of breed in the combined BPM and Case Management market for the Microsoft stack; and for even longer in the pure-play BPM space. Having acquired Singularity in 2011, Kofax are now able to make a more Enterprise level offering downstream from document capture.

The out-of-the-box Case Management capabilities provide a suitable platform for your more unpredictable workflows. This is made easy in TotalAgility as it uses the same underlying pure-play BPM technology; so whether you implement a pure-play BPM solution or Case Management, it should come down to a design decision with no impact on your technology selection.

The new browser based design environment (introduced in version 6.0) is a pleasure to work with but comes with the usual risks of any major software rewrite. This being said, many of its initial issues have been addressed in subsequent service pack releases, and with the imminent release of TotalAgility 7.0 I expect the vast majority of them will be consigned to history. The product support team have a number of very experienced TotalAgility SMEs and it is an unusual event when they are unable to provide at least a work around to even the most difficult of issues.

Having worked with TotalAgility and it’s earlier guises since my days at Singularity I can honestly state that I love working with this technology. The new look TotalAgility designer module has exceeded my expectation and with the integration of the tried and tested Kofax Capture technology, their existing and future customers are in for a real treat. The brand new forms designer in TotalAgility 6.0 and its successor 7.0 will initially provide a challenge to the seasoned pre TotalAgility 6.0 KTA developer. Whilst it took a bit of getting used to it has paid dividends in providing a real rapid development web forms tool.

Finally, whilst TotalAgility provides a rapid development environment, any software implementation worth its salt will require an element of custom code. In my experience the combination of Business Analyst(s) and .Net Software Developer(s) will provide you with the grounding for a successful TotalAgility implementation. Skilled TotalAgility personnel are as rare as hen’s teeth, however a search on LinkedIn or Google for independent TotalAgility consultants should throw up a few options. Complemented with the promise of a value-based pricing model I expect to see TotalAgility set the trend for Smart Process Application platforms.

TotalAgility ranks up there with the best of them...

Having worked on implementations on a number of BPMS including TotalAgility and Lombardi, I have to say that TotalAgility ranks up there with the best of them. I find it's main strengths lie in integration, most especially with the broader Microsoft product suite, including Sharepoint and Dynamics. The new browser based IDE is pretty slick and a delight to work with.
